Happy Birthday to me~♪

I celebrate my 16th birthday today. I was really anxious about this day, because of course I wanted it to be happy. But since today is the day of my thesis defense, I was worried that horrible activity might ruin my day. But it did not. The defense passed by so casually. I was the last one to be called, and we didn't serve anything for merienda, so everyone in the panel were complaining of hunger. Because of that, they wanted me to make it fast. I was babbling about the introduction when they told me to skip it and just go on with the vital parts. I answered all their questions and it was done. Phew. Finally. It's almost over.

So that was supposed to be enough to make my day happy.  But then, what pissed me off was the long time it took for me to be called. I thought I'd die of ennui and hunger. I wasn't able to eat lunch and merienda because I thought I might be called in anytime, so I wanted to tell off those people in the panel, "You don't know how empty my stomach is right now as compared to yours -_-".

I originally planned to treat my friends for this day. So after the defense, I treated some of them at the nearby sari-sari store, since I couldn't afford treating all of them at a fast food chain (only my best friends had that privilege xD). And anyway, that was the only store nearby that was open. The canteens at school and all other stalls selling food were closed.

The day passed by so normally, and quite boring, that there were times during the day when I forgot it was my birthday. I felt like it was nothing special at all.

I had a plan of going to Rob to celebrate with my best friends. Even when I went there, I still had to wait a long time. I was starting to get pissed when I received a text message from one of them, telling me to go to the fountain inside the mall. I was like "WTF is this?!" but I went anyway. When I got there, there were people waiting for me and told me to wait there. I saw them from the 3rd floor, and they got in the elevator, waving something I couldn't really see. Those idiots xD

When they got down, I saw that they made a collage for me, with pictures and messages creatively arranged and pasted in an illustration board. They hugged (and suffocated me) while saying "Happy Birthday". As if I would cry for that xP

The collage my best friends gave me for my sweet 16th :)

We ate at McDonald's (the usual place for birthday treats xD) and we ate a lot. It was fun. Too bad one of them couldn't come. But I really had a lot of fun. It wasn't the happiest birthday of my life (my 13th birthday still holds the record) but at the end of the day, I was still able to say "ureshii" (I'm happy).

Minna, arigatou ne~ ♥
